Schooling in QLD.

Re: Schooling in QLD.
First off apologies. I know there is a lot of threads on this topic, but can't quite find what I'm looking for.
In the UK more people than not go to 'state' schools. Only the wealthy send their children to 'private' schools having to pay for their education.
I'm aware in Australia it's a little different, with 'private' (non-state) schools being more affordable and a more popular choice than in the UK.

This allows the fees to be lower so many more take advantage compared to countries where non govt schools are not taxpayer funded. This has led to a large percentage of children being in non-govt schools.
On the whole, like most places, govt school satisfaction often correlates to the socio-economics of the school location. Many of the more successful govt schools out perform a lot of the non-govt schools so it can sometimes be a school by school decision rather than which system.
